Van Buren Charter Township

Le Van Buren Charter Township, officiellement le Charter Township de Van Buren, est un township du comté de Wayne dans l'État américain du Michigan. La population était de 28 821 habitants au recensement de 2010. Le township de Van Buren Charter entoure la ville de Belleville, mais les deux sont administrés de manière autonome. Le lac Belleville (en) est sa caractéristique géographique principale, et le township abrite également l'Aéroport Willow Run (en), qui s'étend dans le township voisin d'Ypsilanti (en). Géographie Selon le Bureau du recensement des États-Unis, le township a une superficie totale de 93,39 km2, dont 87,98 km2 de terre et 5,4 km2 d'eau. Histoire En 1800, le colon Henry Snow est venu s'installer sur ce qui est aujourd'hui la frontière avec le township d'Ypsilanti, dans le comté de Washtenaw, qui s'appelait à l'origine Snow's Landing. Une colonie de la rivière Huron a reçu un bureau de poste le 7 mai 1834 avec le nom de West Huron et le maître de poste Scott Vining. Le township a été formé par l'État en 1835 et a rapidement été rebaptisé au nom de Martin Van Buren, alors vice-président des États-Unis. Le nom du bureau de poste a également été modifié. Le 14 novembre 1838, le bureau de poste Van Buren fut transféré à Rawsonville et prit ce nom. Le 25 octobre 1895, le bureau de poste de Rawsonville fut fermé, puis rouvert le 20 novembre 1895, avant de fermer à nouveau le 28 février 1902. En 1925, le French Landing Dam and Powerhouse (en) fut mis en place sur la rivière Huron, plaçant la majeure partie du village de Rawsonville sous les eaux du nouveau lac Belleville. Le seul signe visuel qu'un village se trouvait ici à un moment donné est le marqueur historique situé devant le McDonald's sur Rawsonville Road et en face de Grove Road. Transport Routes I-94 (en) I-275 US 12 (en) Aéroport Aéroport Willow Run (en) Économie Le fabricant de pièces automobiles Visteon est basé dans le township de Van Buren.

Van Noord Arena

Van Noord Arena is a 5,000-seat indoor arena located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, part of the Spoelhof Fieldhouse complex on the campus of Calvin University. It was built in 2009 and is home to Calvin University's Knights basketball and volleyball teams, which previously played at Knollcrest Fieldhouse, which was converted into a recreational facility. The arena contains a luxury suite that can hold 40 fans, as well as a climbing wall at the main lobby. Sixty percent of the arena's seating are chairs; the rest are bleachers. The arena can seat up to 5,500 for concerts, which moved with the basketball and volleyball teams to the new arena. The first concert was by rapper Lupe Fiasco. The new arena was built so that recording artists who have historically never played West Michigan can perform at this arena. Spoelhof Fieldhouse accounts for 10% of the total square footage at the Calvin University campus. The total square footage of the arena is 362,000 square feet (33,600 m2).

Van Riper State Park

Van Riper State Park is a public recreation area located in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan, 17 miles (27 km) west of Ishpeming on US Highway 41. The state park's 1,100 acres (450 ha) lie partly in Michigamme Township and partly in Champion Township, both in Marquette County. The park has about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of frontage along the eastern shores of Lake Michigamme, and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of frontage along the shores of the Peshekee River. History The park is named after Dr. Paul Van Riper, who practiced medicine in the area for most of his 91 years, and was involved in the politics of the region. He was also the father of pioneering speech-language pathologist and author Charles Van Riper. While serving on the Marquette County Board, he persuaded the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company to turn the property over to the local township for use as a public park. A beach pavilion and changing house were built by the county in 1924. In 1956, the property was turned over to the state to become a state park. Activities and amenities The state park offers swimming, picnicking, fishing, campgrounds and cabins, and five miles of hiking trails.

Veterans Memorial Bridge (Bay City, Michigan)

The Veterans Memorial Bridge is a drawbridge located in Bay City, Michigan. It carries State Highway M-25 and Business Spur I-75 over the Saginaw River. Its location is just south of Wenonah Park (on the east side of the river), and Veteran's Park (on the west side). History The Veterans Memorial Bridge opened in 1957, the same year as the Mackinac Bridge. It was also Bay City's first four-lane bridge. The bridge was built to carry a rerouted section of M-25 (which was also concurrent with U.S. Route 23 Business (US 23 Bus.) up until 1960) over the Saginaw River. These route designations previously crossed the river a short distance north on the Third Street Bridge. Despite the reroute, the Third Street Bridge would remain in service until its collapse in 1976 and would be physically replaced by the Liberty Bridge. The Veterans Memorial Bridge was temporarily closed to road traffic on July 7, 2012, for the Bay City Fireworks Festival. Over 5,000 shells were launched from the surface of the bridge in celebration of Independence Day. References External links Bridge schedule

W. J. Beal Botanical Garden

The W. J. Beal Botanical Garden is a 5-acre (2.0 ha) botanical garden located on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, United States. It is claimed to be the oldest continually maintained university botanical garden in the United States and is open to the public without charge year-round during daylight hours. The garden displays 1,800 plant taxa, in economic, systematic, landscape and ecological groupings. History The botanic garden was started by Prof. William James Beal as part of the Department of Botany to serve as an outdoor teaching and research laboratory. Work towards starting the garden began in 1872 with a nursery, followed in 1873 by test plots of 140 species of forage grasses and clovers in a portion of the garden referred to as "Sleepy Hollow". Shortly after founding the botanic garden, Professor Beal established an arboretum on campus in 1874 which began as two rows of swamp white oaks. For the period of time from 1877 to 1924, the garden was known as "The Botanic Garden" or "Wild Garden" at Michigan Agricultural College. Shortly after Professor Beal's death on May 12, 1924, the garden was officially named for him on December 17, 1924, by the Michigan State Board of Agriculture upon the recommendation of the Department of Botany. After Professor Beal's retirement in 1910, Professor H.T. Darlington was appointed director of the botanic garden in 1914 and served until 1930. The gardens developed from these starting points until 1950, when they were reorganized and redesigned by Prof. Milton Baron to form today's four main collections. Updated collections In 1954, the garden began participating in the international seed exchange program, publishing its first Index Seminum, and in 1961 was extended with a collection of acidophilous plants including rhododendrons, azaleas, and ferns. More recently, a collection of Michigan's endangered plants was added in 1986, and the non-flowering vascular plant collection was started in 2001 with ephedras, conifers, ginkgo, cycads, ferns, horsetails and clubmosses.
